"Huh? How did you know?"
With a slight tremor, Uzuki Yugao asked Naruto in confusion.
"Oh... I heard it from Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto lied without batting an eye.
"Oh, is that so?"
Uzuki Yugao nodded; that explained it.
"Sister Xiyan, let me see what you look like, okay? I especially love your purple hair."
Naruto looked at Yugao Uzuki with hopeful eyes.
"Hmm... alright, since you've helped me so much, I'll agree."
Uzuki Yugao nodded and removed her mask.
"Well..."
Naruto was momentarily lost in thought as he gazed at Yugao Uzuki's face.
"Alright, I have to go now. See you next time."
Wearing a mask to conceal her terrifying face, Uzuki Yugao waved to Naruto, then turned and leaped onto the rooftop, moving away into the distance.
"Phew...this face...beautiful women with long purple hair are indeed very pretty."
Naruto muttered to himself, then turned and hurried back...
"Damn it, Naruto is such a bastard!"
Back at his lair, Kabuto Yakushi was furious. "I was forced to summon Manda to escape. This time I'll have to sacrifice so many people to that greedy serpent again..."
The next day, Naruto bid farewell to Haku and, after reuniting with Sakura and Sasuke, headed towards the Forest of Death.
"red beans?..."
Upon arriving at the rendezvous point and seeing Anko on one side, Naruto instinctively shrank his neck.
"Naruto, the Forest of Death is really eerie..."
Sakura glanced into the interior of the Death Forest and shuddered slightly in fear, because it was eerily quiet inside.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Naruto patted his chest and said.
"Hmph! You'd better get out of here!"
Sakura gave a soft snort and walked away into the distance, but a warmth lingered in her heart.
"Hmm, it's that brat again?..."
Red Bean caught sight of Naruto in the crowd and licked her lips with a hint of bloodlust.
"Whoosh!"
In a flash, Anko appeared in front of Naruto, holding a kunai to his neck. "Kid, you've come?"
"What...are you planning to do now? I'm not staring at you like that this time."
Naruto swallowed hard, looking at Anko with some fear.
"But I still can't help wanting to tease you! What should I do?"
Anko moved the kunai to Naruto's face, "Seeing your fair and clean face... I can't help but want to cut it open and kiss you..."
"Gurgle..."
Naruto's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily a few times, and he looked at Anko with a mournful face, "Big sister, I was wrong, okay? Don't scare me anymore..."
"Hehe, little brother, you're so cute..."
Red Bean cupped Naruto's face and pressed her rosy lips against it.
"Bang..."
Anko kissed Naruto's cheek and licked her lips. "Little brother, your face smells so good..."
"Well..."
Startled by Anko's audacious act, Naruto's heart pounded wildly. "Damn it, I can't take it..."
"Hehe, little brother, your heart is beating a little fast."
Red Bean reached out and touched Naruto's chest. "Are you thinking about something naughty?"
"Whoosh!"
Another flash of cold light appeared, and another bloodstain appeared on Naruto's face. "However, compared to doing those things, I still prefer your blood, little brother."
Feeling the warm, soft substance moving around the wound on his face, Naruto sighed helplessly, "Waaah, I'm disfigured again..."
"Phew... little brother... thank you for your blood, I really like it."
Straightening up, Hongdou turned and gracefully walked away.
Looking at Anko's retreating figure with a sense of sullenness, Naruto really couldn't stand it anymore. What a frightening woman.
"Naruto, come and take a look over here."
Sakura's cheerful voice brought Naruto back to his senses as she ran over.
"Hmm...what?"
Naruto asked Sakura, who had come to his side, with a puzzled look.
"Naruto, what happened to the injury on your face?"
Sakura looked at Naruto with concern, her eyes filled with a hint of heartache.
"It's nothing, I just got scratched by a tree branch while I was walking around."
Naruto looked at Sakura and smiled nonchalantly.
"Really, how could you be so careless?"
Sakura looked at Naruto with a coquettish expression.
"Hehe, you're concerned about me?"
Naruto looked at Sakura with a smug grin, a knowing smile on his face.
"Tch, who...who cares about you?"
Sakura stubbornly continued to argue, but her pretty face was already slightly red.
"Huh? Orochimaru?"
Just as Naruto was about to tease Sakura a few more times, his gaze suddenly fixed on the face of a grass ninja who had pulled his straw hat down low.
"Heh, is it the technique of erasing facial features?"
Naruto chuckled, "Orochimaru, looking at your arrogant face, I really can't help but want to beat you up..."
"Now, let's announce the rules for the second exam!"
After finishing the last skewer of dumplings, Red Bean stood up and announced, then glanced at Naruto, making Naruto shrink back in fright.
"..."
After a lengthy explanation, and confirming that no candidates wanted to leave, Hongdou gave an order, pointing in different directions, "Now, go over there and collect the books of 'Heaven' and 'Earth' respectively."
"Hmm, is it the Book of Earth?"
Naruto glanced at the scroll and then placed it horizontally into his ninja tool pouch.
"Have you all received your scrolls?"
After confirming everything, Anko raised her hand and waved, "Then, the second Chunin Exams shall now officially begin!"
"Swish!"
The locked gate was slowly pulled open, and the next moment, a group of genin rushed into the Death Forest.
"Sakura, Sasuke, be careful later."
Remembering Orochimaru, that troublesome character, Naruto reminded the two of his own, still worried.
"kindness."
Sakura nodded to Naruto to show that she understood.
"rest assured."
Sasuke simply uttered two words.
"Okay, then I'll have to be extra careful!"
Naruto secretly became more alert.
Whoosh! Boom!
A violent explosion struck, and Naruto raised his alert level to the maximum. "Orochimaru, he's here."
"Sakura, Sasuke, watch out!"
Naruto roared and instantly formed a hand seal, "Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
"Crackling..."
Strands of lightning flashed into the smoke and dust.
"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand!"
A sinister voice rose from the smoke and dust.
